I can't correlate that with your next statement.

Then you did not change your PYTHONPATH system wide.  You only changed
it in your shell.  Not sure if changed your current shell, or your
.bashrc, but not system wide.  So your prior statement is not completely
true.  In Gentoo you set PYTHONPATH system wide this way:

    echo "PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/pythonXXX" >> /etc/env.d/99local

Without knowing your OS, I can't comment on the best way for you to do it.
